Suggested color roles

primary

Use #4F6D54 for strong, foundational elements like navigation bars or hero section backgrounds, grounding the design with its deep, earthy presence.

secondary

#6A8C77 works well for subheadings, secondary buttons, or large content blocks, offering a gentler green that complements the primary hue.

accent

Apply #AACEBD sparingly for interactive elements, icons, or subtle highlights where a fresh, natural pop is desired without being overly vibrant.

background

#C9EDDF is excellent for clean, light backgrounds, providing a soft, breathable canvas that allows other colors to stand out gently.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between #4F6D54 and lighter text like #C9EDDF for body copy.
  • Avoid using #AACEBD for small text against #8AAB99 as contrast might be insufficient for WCAG AA.
  • Test #6A8C77 as a background with black or dark gray text for optimal readability.
  • Prioritize high contrast for interactive elements, perhaps using #4F6D54 for button text on a #C9EDDF button.
